 Good moring all___Give thanks to our living Father God.

Life is nothing to be taken for granted, if you wake up, if you do anything at all it is by the Grace of God.
I am a 76 plus year old man, so I have woken up for many, many, many days. The point is, over most of those days, weeks, months, years and decades I did not give it another thought. Just like most of my life, I just took it for granted that I was alive. But now I realize that there was more to my being here, more to waking up and living.

Ezekiel 20:19-20 the scriptures says this___"I am the Lord your God, 'I told them. 'Follow my decrees, pay attention to my regulations, and keep my Sabbath days holy, for they are a sign to remind you that I am the Lord you God.'"  (NLT)

It was because of my Father God that I was allowed to still be here, breathing, waking up, living. I try to wrap my mind around of God knowing me before creation, before I was formed in my mother's womb, that His son Jesus Christ died for me, that my Father God loves me. I am just a man, a man not worthy of His love, a man that stumbles in His word, a man that wants only to follow Him in every way that I can. He knows me, and accepts me for whom I am, why, because He has a plan for me, and He loves me. So, in my waking breath I give thanks for another day, give thanks that I still have a purpose for Him. I give thanks in prayer and open my ears and heart to Him and give myself to Him to use as He see fits. I go to church to worship, pray, rejoice, hear His word, be with my Brothers and Sisters to feel His presence around us. Yes, my Lord Savior Jesus Christ came and saved me, and I will not be the same as I once was. Amen.
